    Mushrooms are getting a bad rap these day, and the only thing they ever did wrong was to inflict a bit of psychedelic love. :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    I couldn't even pick those up, but sweet! Those will hold a few books, or a couple of doors for that matter.

    Went to an estate sale this morning and got there an hour after it started - I didn't trust my footing on ice/crud in the driveway - and missed the silver. There wasn't any jewelry to miss. However, I didn't miss these two pieces - twelve dollars the pair. The gray looking lighter is a sterling Zippo and my hunch is it's pretty old. The paperweight ...oops! Somebody missed this!

    Does the paperweight say Lalique or Lallique?

    I think this is a California-style paperweight, but I'm not sure. Maybe if we could see the whole bottom.

    That's what I'm wondering. Nothing else in the house was a copy or any kind of fake, and there was another genuine Lalique piece in the preview photos, so....

    Sorry. I tried searching for variations on the names. I have a couple of these types of California-style paperweights and I have been able to trace mine down to the artist. I was hoping to help you but I didn't get anywhere.

    It looks like a Lundberg, Orient & Flume, etc. but not the signature.
    Never seen a Lalique iridescent paperweight.

    Me either, but even if it's not it's still gorgeous. Weighs a ton too.

    It's got a design number - that CH PWT bit. PWT being a common abbreviation and all that. Not Lalique. I think it's European. Let me ponder.
